New Delhi: If you don’t suffer from a short-term memory loss, you must be remembering that a beach photo of Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana went viral over social media a few days ago.
In the picture, Suhana was seen in a neon-patterned bikini, with lil AbRam by his side, in his tiny wee swimming trunks. The picture was picked up by many tabloids with the most awkward headlines that miffed Shah Rukh Khan, who is known to be a dotting and protective father, and all he wanted was the picture to be removed from the internet.
In a recent interview to a leading daily, SRK revealed how his stardom made that picture all over internet and how his family dealt with the situation.
"She was in a bikini, she was on a beach, and she was with her little brother. You went ahead and wrote a headline, "SRK's daughter flaunts her body." Is it a little cheap? Maybe I felt it was. I reached out nicely and said, dude, your website is not going to run on my daughter's bikini body, can you please take it out? People saw where I was coming from. My daughter was a little awkward about it. She's 16, yaar. And the headlines some sites use are. wow. We're very liberal people and even had a laugh about it. But it's still awkward."
He further added, "That is there. But when my daughter's pictures were splashed everywhere online and when I jumped to get it contained, I wasn't protecting her from the media - I was protecting her from me. It's my stardom that was the reason that picture made it to the news - it wouldn't have if she wasn't SRK's daughter. There could be someone running naked and that wouldn't be news."
SRK made a valid point here. If there would have been any other dad in his place, then he too would have reacted in the same manner.
